It comes down to two options when looking at Alex Galchenyuk‘s lack of playing time down the middle for the Montreal Canadiens. Is it stubbornness/an attempt to save face, or is there a bigger plan at large. The first option, at the moment, seems to be the most likely scenario to be taking place as it doesn’t make sense that the Habs haven’t plugged Galchenyuk down the middle.
There was a moment where the 24-year-old was playing at centre when Jonathan Drouin left a game early with a lower-body injury. The media asked Claude Julien during the post-game scrums if whether that was something the Habs would try again down the line.
